Much of the buzz surrounding the Porsche brand has to do with the release of the automaker’s first four-door sedan, the Panamera. However, when the long awaited 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera debuts this fall, is sure to steal the spotlight. In addition to small but significant changes to the powertrain and curb weight, the 2011 Carrera will also sport a redesigned back end, complete with an all-new, speed-activated spoiler.
Many of the details we have so far on the 2011 Carrera are only speculative: Pricing: 2011 Porsche 911 should start at about $78,000 MSRP and around $70,000 invoice, Fuel economy: Porsche has not released any data on fuel economy car ratings for the new Carrera, but they will likely be similar to the current city/highway rating of 18/26 mpg, Engine: Porsche insiders indicate that the carmaker will enhance both the power and displacement of the 2011 911 Carrera’s engines, possibly offering an inline six-cylinder with 350-360 horsepower on the base model and a 400-horsepower inline six on the S model.
What we know about the 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera mostly concerns the outer styling of the car. We’ll know more about the cabin when writing a full review of the car near the launch date. Drivers can expect features like the standard Porsche Communication Management with a color touch screen 6.5-inch and Bose sound system restore.
